This is on the migration route of gray whales record holders for the 92 00:08:12,95 --> 00:08:19,11 longest seasonal migration between the Arctic Circle and Baja California in Mexico 93 00:08:20,79 --> 00:08:26,13 these whales are flapping their petrol fins at least two whales next to each other 94 00:08:27,59 --> 00:08:34,27 marine biologist haven't discovered yet why some whales do this finally the 95 00:08:34,28 --> 00:08:38,88 freight train cleared our sighting and the Coast Starlight started to move again 96 00:08:40,04 --> 00:08:40,74 now we got 97 00:08:40,75 --> 00:08:47,10 a clear unobstructed view of the whales it was just in time for me to 98 00:08:47,11 --> 00:08:47,89 videotape 99 00:08:47,90 --> 00:08:54,60 a whale breaching. Oh man. That 100 00:08:54,61 --> 00:08:59,61 breaching whale could have been the grand finale but the whales weren't finished 101 00:08:59,62 --> 00:09:01,85 yet the tail of 102 00:09:01,86 --> 00:09:07,98 a whale is called its fluke and there was plenty of flute flapping here to me it 103 00:09:07,99 --> 00:09:09,70 looked like these whales were having 104 00:09:09,71 --> 00:09:14,100 a great time the other passengers seem to feel the same way. 105 00:09:22,42 --> 00:09:27,99 Now that the train was slowly moving back on to the main tracks bridge supports and 106 00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:34,28 power lines would invite themselves into the view but that didn't take away the joy 107 00:09:34,29 --> 00:09:38,21 of watching these frolicking whales we were in 108 00:09:38,22 --> 00:09:41,22 a train car called the parlor car it's 109 00:09:41,23 --> 00:09:47,34 a popular place for passengers to gather and enjoy an unforgettable ocean view it's 110 00:09:47,35 --> 00:09:53,95 lots to enjoy here but even the Amtrak crew had never seen anything like this 111 00:09:55,28 --> 00:09:59,58 the thing is you can't really expect this kind of whale watching from 112 00:09:59,59 --> 00:10:05,76 a train not even the Coast Starlight your chances for spotting whales are much 113 00:10:05,77 --> 00:10:08,44 better on a boat especially 114 00:10:08,45 --> 00:10:15,28 a small cruise boat on Alaska's inside passage. Often the first thing you see of 115 00:10:15,29 --> 00:10:20,13 whales is their fluke which often goes up before the whale dives 116 00:10:22,25 --> 00:10:27,69 other times it's the dorsal fin you see first as the whale sinks quietly below the 117 00:10:27,70 --> 00:10:34,40 surface speaking of dorsal fins can you tell by the dorsal fin what marine mammal 118 00:10:34,41 --> 00:10:38,27 this is it's an orca also known as 119 00:10:38,28 --> 00:10:43,25 a killer whale sometimes the whales are out in the distance and spotting them for 120 00:10:43,26 --> 00:10:44,34 binoculars or 121 00:10:44,35 --> 00:10:50,93 a camera usually means looking for their spout if you can see that you're usually 122 00:10:50,94 --> 00:10:57,49 rewarded by seeing more of the whale in contrast to killer whales humpback whales 123 00:10:57,50 --> 00:11:04,47 have very short dorsal fins. In Alaska the nutrient rich waters attract humpback 124 00:11:04,48 --> 00:11:10,41 whales from their rearing environment near Hawaii they spin winter there and return 125 00:11:10,42 --> 00:11:16,12 to Alaska in the summer humpback whales travel in family groups called Pods 126 00:11:17,11 --> 00:11:20,05 watercraft are not supposed to move into a space where 127 00:11:20,06 --> 00:11:24,80 a pod of whales are located but there's nothing that prevents curious whales from 128 00:11:24,81 --> 00:11:25,66 drawing near 129 00:11:25,70 --> 00:11:32,26 a boat that's how we came to see this whale splashing the water with its petrol Fin 130 00:11:32,35 --> 00:11:34,85 It's the boat's engine creates 131 00:11:34,86 --> 00:11:40,90 a noise but if you listen carefully. You can hear the splash in the fen 132 00:11:41,84 --> 00:11:48,55 you can even hear the whale exhale. This close encounter had all the passengers 133 00:11:48,56 --> 00:11:52,49 scanning the water looking for more humpback whales. 134 00:11:58,71 --> 00:12:04,43 Sometimes following that first black dot in the distance with your eyes or your 135 00:12:04,44 --> 00:12:08,36 camera pays off with numerous whales in view. 136 00:12:14,52 --> 00:12:20,25 Rarely just leaving the camera pointed in one place allows you to see lots of the 137 00:12:20,26 --> 00:12:27,18 action humpback whales were once hunted almost to extinction restrictive laws and 138 00:12:27,19 --> 00:12:32,35 agreements between countries stop that from happening since then humpback whale 139 00:12:32,36 --> 00:12:38,81 populations have rebounded so now we could marvel at this whale action in Alaska. 140 00:12:43,38 --> 00:12:48,88 Only. Thing I. 141 00:13:01,14 --> 00:13:07,78 Only we all know that whales are mammals not 142 00:13:07,79 --> 00:13:14,14 fish it's that fact that allows us the joy and excitement of seeing them whether 143 00:13:14,15 --> 00:13:16,79 from the coastal shore a train or 144 00:13:16,80 --> 00:13:22,81 a boat we get to see them when they come up for air or. Watching whales brings 145 00:13:22,82 --> 00:13:29,38 a connection with nature the wonder of these huge animals whale watching makes me 146 00:13:29,39 --> 00:13:32,31 grateful for the protection they now enjoy 147 00:13:38,53 --> 00:13:43,05 you're watching ramping up your English this is Segment two of Episode sixty six 148 00:13:43,60 --> 00:13:44,00 with 149 00:13:44,01 --> 00:13:50,28 a surfboard land dwelling humans can get an experience with nature in the ocean and 150 00:13:50,29 --> 00:13:55,94 experience it's not available on land those first steps into the turbulent world 151 00:13:56,11 --> 00:13:56,52 may be 152 00:13:56,53 --> 00:14:03,22 a little awkward at first but skill level improves and that happens with experience 153 00:14:03,41 --> 00:14:08,36 and with learning so when we look at what's been learned about whales we can be in 154 00:14:08,37 --> 00:14:14,73 for whale size surprises. Scientists who study the anatomy of whales and compare 155 00:14:14,81 --> 00:14:18,99 the fossils of whale ancestors have come to 156 00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:25,45 a shocking implosion the ancestors of whales once lived on land 157 00:14:26,39 --> 00:14:33,03 that's right somewhere in the far distant past the land animals took to living in 158 00:14:33,04 --> 00:14:39,81 the ocean and became today of today's species of whales and there seems to be no 159 00:14:39,82 --> 00:14:44,53 end to the things that you can learn about whales Let's see what some English 160 00:14:44,54 --> 00:14:49,19 learners in elementary school would call from their study 161 00:14:51,18 --> 00:14:56,45 English language learner share what they're learning about whales in this video how 162 00:14:56,46 --> 00:15:01,36 does the mom feed the cat.
